Although the Zhaowen Academy is far away from Chang'an, it has never been out of the whirlpool of court battles, and even the Zhaowen Academy headed by the official ceremonies in the court is the most powerful department, strong enough to influence the political situation of the court. In the Zhaowen Academy, the sound www.biquge.info of coughing kept coming from Ji Ling's bedroom, and Ji Ling's body was deteriorating, and now it was to the point where the oil was about to run out.

Ji Ling held a letter in his hand, opened it in the dim candlelight, Du Yuan rarely contacted other people, but now this letter made him faintly uneasy, feeling that something was going to happen.

"When my brother receives this letter, perhaps I will die. The state-owned thief is the fault of our ten years of connivance and protection, and we have not been able to investigate in detail for a long time and have been deceived for a long time, and now it will become a great disaster. Fortunately, although its wings are gradually full, we still have room to return to the sky, hope that the king will hoe the traitor, protect my Tang foundation, clear the king's side, and punish ...."

Just two pages of letters, but Ji Ling's hands are trembling, the letter explains everything, if it is true, Datang may really be in trouble. Looking at this letter, it was a little sloppy, and I thought that Du Yuan was pressed for time when he wrote it. After thinking about it, Ji Ling put the letter paper on the candle flame and burned it to ashes. Half-lying on the chair, the dim candlelight was beating on Ji Ling's old face, and the state and family affairs were all disturbed.

"I really never thought that it was a matter of our life's reputation, and it was better to deal with this matter not to be public or not, Du Wenzheng, you must have this idea too, otherwise you would not have written to me. Ji Ling was preoccupied, as if she was making a decision.

"That's it, that's it, the old man will fight with you before he dies, if you can get rid of the thief and protect this hard-won reputation, if not, the old man who has been stinking for 10,000 years will never let your conspiracy succeed. ”

"Begonia" Ji Ling called out to Ji Haitang, who was resting in the next room.

"Grandpa, what's wrong" Ji Haitang and Ji Heng have been staying in Zhaowen Academy recently, taking care of Ji Ling, and after hearing that Ji's house was attacked, they were forced to stay by Ji Ling's side, and Wu Tingfeng of the Wu family once personally came to pick up the two to go to Wu's house and were rejected by Ji Ling. Thinking about the huge Ji family back then, now there are only old man left, and Ji Wufeng's father and son, sighing but helpless.

"Begonia, go and call your brother" Ji Ling's voice was tired

Ji Haitang and Ji Heng came to Ji Ling's house together, and Ji Ling pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for the two to sit down.

"Grandpa, do you have any instructions for calling us late at night," Ji Heng said

"The Ji family has suffered a century-old catastrophe, your father's hard work over the years has also been ruined, and the status of my Ji family is unstable, you two must be diligent and take Zhongxing my Ji family as your own responsibility"

"Isn't there still a grandfather," Ji Heng said

"You unenterprising brute" Ji Ling became angry and coughed

"Are you okay, grandpa" Even Ji Heng was startled, he was just used to saying casually.

"Do you think the old man can survive for a few days, and now I can't do anything about the Ji family," Ji Ling said with a sigh of relief

"Grandpa, aren't you going to take care of the Ji family" Ji Haitang asked anxiously, the Ji family has now been shaking in the position of the eight major martial arts forces for two years, the civil and military worlds are implicated in each other, with Ji Ling, the Wenzong who has a deep influence on the Tang Dynasty, those people in the martial arts world dare not act rashly even if they are ambitious, everyone is waiting for the opportunity, and the opportunity is Ji Ling's death.

"With grandpa's body, how long do you think I can live" If there weren't too many reassurances, maybe he would have left a long time ago.

Ji Haitang cried, since she was a child, she was the pearl of the Ji family and the Wu family, and she suffered a lot of changes, and her psychology was under a lot of pressure, but fortunately, Ji Ling's thin body shielded her from countless wind and rain, but unfortunately it was also crumbling, even Ji Heng was overwhelmed by the depressed atmosphere, and a kind of squirting momentum has been hidden in the bottom of his heart and wanted to burst out, but he always couldn't break through the last line of defense.

"Sister, don't worry, there is still my brother, my brother will definitely revitalize my Ji family" Ji Heng hugged Ji Haitang's shoulder and persuaded, "Uncle, they will also help us, plus my father's strength, we will go through this difficulty"

"Heng'er, come here!" Ji Ling waved his hand to let him come over, Ji Heng walked all the way to Ji Ling, Ji Ling raised his right hand and suddenly gave him a slap, Ji Ling was old, weak, sick and disabled This slap Ji Heng could dodge, but he didn't dare to dodge, and he couldn't hide, Ji Heng hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Please also take care of your body, don't be angry" Ji Heng kept kowtowing

Ji Ling sighed helplessly, "You are a good boy, but you have been protected by your mother and the people of the Wu family since you were a child, and you can't see the real world, this slap is to make you remember that if the Ji family wants to be strong, it can only rely on you, not others, and your father will not accept the help of the Wu family."

"Although the old man doesn't understand the martial arts world, he has lived for so long, he is used to seeing too much of the hot and cold world, and he is used to seeing people's hearts, Wu Daotong is unreliable, and the Wu family is unreliable. Wu Daotong is a talented person, but he is willing to be silent, he is a shark lurking in the martial arts world, with strong strength but he is self-contained, it is not that Wu Daotong does not want to forge ahead, but he is plotting the general trend, such a family is too terrible, the Ji family is undoubtedly cooperating with him to seek skin with the tiger, and the ending will only be one, that is, the Ji family is devoured."

"Heng'er, you remember, you must beware of Wu Daotong"

"It's grandpa" Although Ji Heng said yes, he still didn't listen to it in his heart, after all, Wu Daotong loved him and Ji Haitang very much, and connived, how could it be that grandpa said it was so terrible.

"Alas, if you can't listen to it, it's better to experience it in person after all, the Ji family is broken, when the old man dies and there is no wind to shelter the two of you, the two of you will taste the sorrow and warmth of the world, and at that time grandpa hopes that you can remember that strength depends on your own strength. Whether you can understand it or not, I won't interfere in the affairs of the Ji family after tonight."

"What... Grandfather... You...."The begonia flowers are discolored

"Grandpa, you are also a member of the Ji family, you can't do this" Ji Heng was also unwilling, he was doted on by the Wu family and the Ji family since he was a child, relying on Wu Daotong and Ji Wufeng to fly and dominate, and now the mountains behind him are collapsing one by one, making him feel that he does not dare to face reality.

"It's not that I don't want to, but grandpa, I can't do anything about it"

"You are Wenzong, the leader of the literary world, how can you be powerless"

"Now a storm in Chang'an that is enough to overturn the foundation of the Tang Dynasty is brewing, and the Tang Dynasty can still stand after thousands of battles, but this political storm can make the Tang Dynasty change the dynasty, and this storm is connived at by our six Wenzong, and someone must come out to bear it. Du Yuan has died, although the old man is a member of the Ji family, but he has been blessed by heaven and respected by hundreds of officials, and the national disaster is about to end, the old man only hopes to block this rolling wheel with his broken body, and his grandfather will go to Chang'an soon."

"Wenzong Du Yuan is dead?" Ji Heng said in surprise

"Grandpa, who is so dangerous, can't you win easily with your status" Ji Haitang felt Ji Ling's determination

"You can't tell who this man is, or he will implicate you. Back then, we all underestimated this person, connived at it, and caused him to be full-fledged, you go, go to your father, you will be more dangerous to stay by my side"

"Could it be that grandpa will be worried about his life? Who would dare to be unfavorable to you" Although Ji Heng is stubborn, he values his relatives very much.

"Du Yuan Du Wenzheng has been killed by thieves, now it's the turn of the old man, you can leave tomorrow, state and family affairs, you always need to give up. The warrior values righteousness, the literati keep the festival, and the grandfather is ready to die with the traitor with a crippled body, although I am sorry for the ancestors of the Ji family, but I am worthy of the people's cangsheng, worthy of the mighty emperor's grace, and worthy of my name of Wenzong, who adheres to the righteousness of heaven and earth."

Du Yuan's death has always been like a haze over Chang'an, and there are already four eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who have been ordered to be executed by the angry emperor because of their bad work. Du Yuan had sent his children away before he died, and even his children and grandchildren did not know the news that Du Yuan had passed away.

The body was parked in the main hall of the Du family, which had been decorated into a mourning hall, and a cypress coffin was parked in the center. The courtiers and officials were all watching, and Du Yuan's son was supposed to come to the door to send an obituary, but Du Yuan and his wife didn't want his son to be involved in the upcoming turmoil, and now the funeral ceremony could not be held normally, and no one even came to mourn for two days.

"Madam, do you want to get the young master back," Du Cheng asked

"Wu'er has just gotten out of this right and wrong, so don't involve them, that's why the master wants them to leave"

"Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down" Li Hong's body was a little thin, and Chu Tiange was still followed behind him.

"The old woman has seen His Royal Highness the Prince"

Li Hong hurriedly helped Du He's family up, "Although the student is a prince, he dares to accept this great gift from his wife"

Li Hong came to the mourning hall, and the dignified emperor actually used this cypress coffin used by ordinary people, his eyes were red, and he coughed, and Chu Tiange hurriedly supported him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the lord has been used to hardships all his life, and this coffin was also made for himself by the lord a few years ago."

"Recalling that I was young and ignorant, stubborn, fortunately with Mr. Du's help, many times, the earnest teachings seem to be still in front of the ears, but Mr. abandoned the students and left, how to call the students not "more than ten years of companionship, Li Hong and Du Yuan have already formed a deep friendship between teachers and students, and now that Du Yuan is gone, Li Hong will inevitably be sad from his temperament.

"Du Cheng, go get pen and paper," Li Hong said

Du Cheng took the pen and paper, Li Hong dipped the pen in ink, and put down the pen with his sleeves

Today, my Tang Emperor's teacher, Wenzheng Du Yuan, was assassinated on the fifth day of the ninth month of the Tang Dynasty and died outside the court. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no," Du He hurriedly stopped

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Du is the emperor's teacher, the father of the emperor, one day as a teacher and a father for life, Mr. does not want his children and grandchildren to be in danger of Chang'an, today I will be the son of Mr. Du, filial piety, and send this obituary for Mr."

"If the truth of Mr.'s death is not ascertained, Hong will never give up" After speaking, Li Hong left with Chu Tiange
